I noticed dragging my recorded clips from FRAPS screen recorder straight into Pinnacle Studio will cause major degradation to the quality. I'm assuming Pinnacle might not be able to render uncompressed AVI files efficiently. Is there any way to work around this, aside from publishing it into a different format with an alternate program before editing?
@JHeimStudios Depends on your settings. Make sure that your project settings in Pinnacle is matching your AVI clip. So, if you're capturing in 1280x720 progressive, make sure you have that as a settings in Pinnacle. If you're capturing in a resolution not supported by Pinnacle, then yes you'll have degradation in image quality.
@koolzdragon Hi again, I am not TrondS....so I did not make THIS video ;-) His video: 1080p. If you want to view and produce your "final cut" on/for new TVs, use 24p. ...Older TVs: NTSC/PAL ...PC-Monitors: 30p. Actually I am not using Pinnacle. IMO its way to slow in FullHD editing and so on....I dont really like its workflow. If your PC is fast enough (and has at least 3GB ram): You can use HD 720/25p or FullHD. Slower PCs: NTSC/PAL. Prefer p, not i...If you need help....just mail me ;-)
@11shoelaces You have to use two video tracks, then you use the picture in picture function, reduce both videos to about 50% and position them side by side.
@kellyhri To add fades (transitions) you have to add a few clips to your time line, then you pick the transition tab on the left, find the fade in/out, and drag that to the beginning, end, or in the middle of two clips.
Not sure what you mean by 'split audio', but I assume you'd like the audio from one clip to span over several clips? If so, you need to lock the audio track (padlock on the right side), then you can split the video without touching the audio, and replace it with new footage.

@koolzdragon Hi, rightclick inside your preview screen/monitor --> Fullscreen ;-) Works in Pinnacle 9 and higher (so 14).

@samsam0814 I guess that depends on your encoding, if you're refering to the YouTube video, that's probably a result of YouTube's rendering engine?
